NOOOO!!! That takes paranoia to a new level!! Of course the proper precautions are made with the camera between patients. That has will never happen. :)
6 :
pretty unlikely that any transfer would take place. Sterilization procedures would remove anything from the previous patient. Is it theoretically possible to transfer material? I suppose, but you are more likely to get run over by a bus when you leave the hospital. Then, assuming something is transferred, cancer isn't really something you catch from other people, its more of a cell mutation created from within your own body. Others are more knowledgeble on this topic, but I wouldn't spend any more time worrying about this one.

Theoretically, one can probably argue that it could happen, but in reality, it would not happen. It is quite difficult to "plant" cancer if you are not trying to do so puposefully (like in animal testing). Also, the scopes are very well cleaned and disinfected between uses. A colonoscopy is probably one of the safest invasive tests around.
8 :
no, because cancer is not contagious. you may catch something if the doctors office doesn't practice proper sterilization procedures. but cancer isn't one of them. good luck and best wishes.
9 :
No, cancer is not contagious. It has to be introduced by a lab even in lab rats and other test animals.
10 :
A colonoscopy is a test, in which a doctor inserts an instrument into the colon to visualize what's happening. Surgical instruments are always sterilzed, so that there is no transmition of disease. And, cancer cells are not in the least bit contagious....
11 :
No. You cannot remove DNA from your body and put it in someelse and grow a new arm or leg. Cancer is a part of an individuals body . . it comes from their cells . . it's a mutation of the DNA in an individual. You cannot transfer that DNA to someone else, thus cancer is an individual disease that only affects that person and no one else.
12 :
no. instruments are sterilized thoroughly after each use.
